Same (incredulous) reaction I had. No Bottlerocket either. Not much “retro” in a retrospective that doesn’t include a person’s early work.

(Saw the Roxie’s explanation for the absence of Rushmore below before hitting “submit”. Sounds like they tried and couldn’t get a print. Another example of the film industry and its circular firing squad. Too bad.

I’ll drop in for Moonrise Kingdom. I hope you get a great response. Thanks for doing this.

The lack of RUSHMORE is heartbreaking and inside baseball-y, but I’m sure if you come to the screenings I won’t be able to help myself talk about it in the introductions. – Mike

My mistake; reading that the Grand Budapest Hotel was “opening March 7″ I made the fooling assumption it would open in San Francisco March 7…and therefore a sneak preview would be tonight.
But I guess SF waits an extra week for “opening night”?
Or maybe the opening is delayed everywhere?

How do I get a pair of tickets for tonight’s showing of GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL?
Do I need to buy the WA series to qualify? And how do I do that? Can I do it online or over the phone?

Hey David – Yup, that’s exactly how it works. Attendees for the series get a ticket to see THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL on Thursday night, while seating lasts. The non-Wes movie we’re showing on Saturday with MOONRISE KINGDOM, RICH KIDS, is totally amazing and not available anywhere and the sort of secret-roots-of-Wes-Anderson (and Noah Baumbach, too). This is gonna be FUN! – Mike

Anyone know how this deal works? You just watch one of the other films for regular price and get a free ticket to see a sneak preview of the entire new Grand Budapest?

Sounds amazing. After Spoke Arts Wes Anderson love, and the Castro’s as well, this should be sweet.
